Mg4 undertray cover

[bikerbear1]

I have been in contact with mg re the warped tray on my mg4 , they are not going to rectify it and have stated they can’t see any manufacturing fault with the cover.
Seems the warranty is worthless

Don't get me wrong, that should be done under warranty. But, and I know you shouldn't have to, but isn't that easily rectified by a good garage and probably better than MG would do it anyway. Just a thought.

It’s annoying that mg does not see this as a fault

Totally agree.

Have you tried Trading Standards or Citizens Advice?
There other threads on this topic and I'm sure other dealers have repaired the fault under warranty.
(Shouldn't this be in the MG4 section?)

And so they should. No reason why they shouldn't. Good on them.

Most people have had the strengthening bar fitted under warranty. I thought it was actually flagged up as a service recall for cars that hadn't had it done. My dealer, awful as they are, did mine.

At the car service, the part shown in the photo is replaced under warranty, and the issue is resolved.

you are correct. Theres a bulletin from MG about it. The bulletin says only fix it if the customer tells you they want it fixed. It also gives full instructions to the garage what parts they need to order to fix the issue. Even with that, I had to speak directly to the technician and show them the bulletin before anything was agreed.

Very detailed document for what they claimed for long enough was just a characteristic of the car!

Amazing how many things are a characteristic with MG, obviously becomes a fault when the fix is cheap unlike the X power vibration.

... but on 99% of cars it wont cause an issue, so its not a problem. My car lives under a very pretty historic tree, which means that every bird in the country craps on my MG4 each day - so have gone through window wipers / door sills every 12 months, so do spend more on these consumable parts than charging the car, but it is what it is.

Ever thought about not parking, under that Tree.
